Replacing the letter L with the letter W of three television game show titles, clued to justify the replacement, is the amusement in today’s crossword -- YOUBETYOURWIFE (20A. TV game show that places spouses at risk?); WHATSMYWINE (37A. TV game show that quizzes oenophiles?); THEWEAKESTWINK (55A. TV game show that eliminates coy contestants?).
TV also gets mention with the match-up of ELLEN (64A. First name in TV talk) and LENO (7D. Last name in TV talk), sans the switch. The remaining longer entries are OLDFLAME (11D. Former imamorato or inamorata) and WAITHERE (37D. “Don’t move -- I’ll go for help”), followed by ISEEYOU (12D. “Peekaboo”) and SKETCHY (41. Lacking details).
Testing, testing, one, two, three…
